The feede# of steers during 1920
with the late summer or fall market
la mind must carry Into hla plans a
knowledge of range conditions, says
Wallace's Farmer. Karly reports on
tb* range country gave cattle as coin
lag through the winter In good shape,
with plenty of feed. Grass Is abundant
over a large part of the West.
Heavy summer rslns msy delay the
Swing up of the grass and the consequent
hardening procesa of the beef.
However, the prospects are very good
that a large portion of the range rattle,
will come to market In killing condition.,
ThJa means direct competition
for the corn-belt feeder who has
only half-fat a^d poorly finished cornfeds.
Home years this la not the esse.
At present, prospects all Indicate that
the best chance of a profit will come
with well-finished yearlings. In general
tills calls for heavy grain rations
[\ whether the cattle are finished In the
dry lot or on grass. In llue with the
abundance and cheapness of corn thlH
appears to he the sound policy.
Huccess with summer feeding rails
for more than the liberal use of the
scoop urounjl the corn. There are
several other things that add to comfort
and gains. One Is the providing
of a reasonable amount of, shelter
from sun and files. If the cattle are
pasture fattened and good thick shade
Is available, no further worry on this
eqore need be given. ' If, however,
only a few of no trees are available,
artificial shade of some sort should
be provided if the best gains are to be
made. Sheds of willow or box cider
. ' poles and straw on top give n solid
shade that is very helpful.
If In addition strips, of burlap or
old sacks enn be hung at the edges,
darkening the shed, It will be greatly
increased In value. On most farms
where cattle are fattened there Is
generally u shed or barn in the feed
lot that can be made into a very effeetlve
shelter from the sun /mil' tiles.
Covering the windows its completely
as possible by use of burlap allows- ulr
movement without lighting. Burlap
curtains at the doors or open sides
down to four feet from the ground Is
a cheap and effective means of giving
comfort to eat tie on feed.
If the grain Is fed in the yard and
the steers go to hiiiI from the pasture,
they should he allowed to return
to the pasture at night. Too often
they are shut in the yard at nigh',
thus making necessary the gathering
of their forage during the da v. When
iy
the tlies are had and the heat intense,
being required to gal her their rough
ago under those conditions greatly reduces
their gains. Clean, cool water
la appreciated by luiumns; also by
cattle on feed.
Experiments on Worming
of Hogs Are Under Way
Some experiments <>u the "worming '
of hogs are under way at Iowa State
rollrgc, wtrh pnntrutQT"r^rei-enOo ( >
the most effeethe method of using
santonin. This drug, which 1ms
Ixhmi considered the moat effective
worm treatment In the world over a
period of more than fifty years, has
been practically off the market for
several years, hut supplies are again
becoming available, and it Is likely
that it will be practically universally
. used again as a worm treatment.
< The new Iowa experiments are to
determine whether santonin should he
* administered alone or mixed with other
drugs, such as calomel and uloin.
' Another phase of the work will determine
to what extent the worm treatment
cun he given to a large number
of hogs at once, In the feed, as compared
with tlie method of treating
each hog individually.
Live Stock Notes
Hogs following cattle In the feed
lot are generally handled at a profit.

As a pasture crop sweet clover will
carry more stock than any , other
legume. Start the grazing when the
plants are G to 8 inches high.

After pigs are weaned brood sows
that are running on good pasture
need only a limited amount of grain
to carry them through the summer in
food shape to farrow again In the
fall
The .voting sow that la atill growIn*
needs more grain than old sows
that are fully grown. In addition to
pasture brood bowk should be fed
enough grain to keep them gaining a
tittle In flesh.
A horae needs about two ounces of

At the Ohio experiment station
it is recommended that control lie oh

and by dosing.
Dosing may consist of either copper
sulphate or nicotine sulphate (Black

at the same time. The copper sulphate
solution is uuule by dissolving
two ounces of dark blue copper sulphate
crystals in one gallon of water.
The nicotine sulphate Is prepared, by
adding two teaspoonfuls to'one quart
of water.
Keep the sheep off feed for 18 hours
before and six hours after treatment.
If possible, turn them on pasture not
grazed by sheep for two months .previous.

three ounces. Dose with an oil can or

Weeds in Fall
Wjll .Kill Their Seeds
Fall Is the best time to burn weeds.
The burning of weeds Is a practice
that should be universally followed
in places where they cannot be used
for green manure. The use of fire do
?troys the seed as well as the unsightly
dearJL plants.
Where weeds are burned In the fall
there Is less chance for the seeds to
he scattered than lHter. when the
plants have died from frost. It 1h n
good plan to mow the weeds close
to the ground white they are still
green and immediately rake them Into
piles. In this way the seed will not
he rattled out. The plies should be
rather small?half the aire of a hay

and burn up completely. Set Are to

Youthful Oklaboasa Girl Chpoaes To
Work For Divine Mauler.
A chubb/ fourteen-year-old girl,
with flaxen hair, cut itt bangs, is laying
plans to convert New York City.
Her name is Uldine Mabelle Utley,
Dr. John Roach Htratton describes
her as,j "the most extraordinary person
in America" and as the "Joan of
Arc of the modern religious world."
Miss Utley hails from Durant,
Okta., and first spoke Sf an evangelist
at Fresno, Cal. Until two years ago
she was fired with a desire to go into
the movies or on the stage. While on
her way to a rehearsal for her debut
on the stage, she found the door of the
rehearsal room lock&l. She strayed
aimlessly into a revival meeting.
"Suddenly I realized that there was
a Divine Being," she said, "because
people had been walking in and out
there all the time, and others walked
through shortly after. God had called
to me and had shown Himself in
this way. ?
"Then my grandfather took me to a
revival meeting, although at first'I
didn't want tq, go The subject was,
J rr.'v ;
'? 1 J
'David and Goliath,' but I didn't understand
what It waa all about. But
wheu the invitation carae I felt suddenly
that I needed Jesus* and before
I could reason, I found 1 was crying,
r- went down the aisle and knelt in
prayer, A kind woman came and asked
me what I was going to be and I
answered* without knowing why, "I'm
going to be a little Goliath."
Miss Utley has preached all over
the West. At a recent meeting in
Palm Beach, Fla., "strortg men ivept
and forget themselves (completely in
their new salvation," Dr. Stratton
said.
Her voice is strong and has developed
the traditional evangelistic inflections
and mannerisms.
"I would rather," she cried at her
first meeting in New York, "see one
man or woman saved than to travel
around thq world as I first thought of
doing as a movie star."
Her meetings are being conducted
at Calvary Baptist Church, where she
spoke fpr two hours at her first service
and led the jlarge audience in
prayer. Men and women sobbed as
the girl exhorted them to live a good
life.
"And a little child shall lead them." (
Holy Roller Woman Dies.
Owensboro, tiy., Oct. 26.?Mrs.
Beulah Norris, wife of Rev. L. R. Norris,
a Holy Roller preacher, died today
following her refusal to allow a physician
to give her medical attention.
Three weeks ago her husband was arrested
on a warrant sworn out by her
father, George Gipe, charging him
with attempt at involuntary manslaughter
for refusing to seek medical
aid for his wife; The case however
was passed indefinitely. Mrs. ^lorris
leaves nine small children. N
A Japanese pearl firm, believing
that oysters have souls, has built a
miniature pagoda as a shrine to placate
the spirits of bivalves from which
pearls have been taken.
Fireflies inoculated with adrenalin
have been kept glowing for twenty-,
four hours. The adrenalin causes .a
muscular contraction and a continuous
instead of intermittent supply of
oxygen to the light-producing cells.
More than a million pounds of tea
is required to supply the people of
Great Britain with each day's beverage.
